Dragon Age Game Awards Teaser

Interesting that he suggests the Forgotten Ones would regard the Creators as their brethren but not the elven people. Of course when he said this we didn't know that neither of these groups were actually gods as distinct from very powerful elven mages. Did either set of gods know it was Fen'Harel alone who was responsible for their imprisonment? In fact surely he would have required some assistance, even if it was only to keep them distracted whilst he put his plan into motion. We also now know that the city in Arlathan Forest was likely dedicated to Andruil and that area was her domain. So if the Forgotten Ones had been at war with Andruil, it seems perfectly likely they would have wanted to avenge themselves on her people. However, as I set out above, initially the Old Gods were promoting the rise of their human worshipers rather than specifically targeting the elves, particularly if their aim was to ultimate set themselves free from their prisons. Also if Gelduran was one of the Forgotten Ones as suggested by the codex about him, he clearly had intention of revenge.

I am Gelduran and I refuse those who would exert their will upon me. Let Andruil’s bow crack, let June’s fire grow cold. Let them build temples and lure the faithful with promises. Their pride will consume them, and I forgotten, will claim power of my own, apart from them until I strike in mastery.

That suggests to me that Gelduran would be only too willing to avenge himself on the worshipers of the Creators and wouldn't be too fussy about who he acquired for himself so long as they did what he wanted them to.

I feel there has to be some connection with the powerful entities of pre-Veil times. Whilst Solas seems to deny a link, he has a tendency to play with words. He said there is nothing in lore to connect his people and the Old Gods but that would be true because naturally human records do not have them and the Chantry lore doesn't mention the elves at all. I certainly believe he knows exactly what the Old Gods are but clearly he chose not to reveal it, even though he could easily have claimed he acquired his knowledge from spirits of the Fade. That also points to a link between them and the ancient elves and that they are connected to his plans in some way.

That's the vallaslin of Dirthamen isn't it? If he is one of the threats that might explain why specifically we discovered his temple in DAI.

Yes it is!!!!

That would most likely make the other figure Andruil then as that is closest to the headpiece shown.:



Still it doesn't rule out Ghilan'nain being involved, as she is always closely associated with Andruil, or Falon'Din who is always twinned with Dirthamen.

The crystal halla statue would seem to suggest that Ghilan'nain is going to play some part.  If she was also responsible for the strange transformation pools, that seems even more likely. 

Maybe DA5 get a focus on it. DA4 focus is definitely tevinter. But because they integrate factions, they make a DAI. But ferelden was focus in DAO not in DAI (even it doesn't look like it). I wish for you you get positive surprised by DA4.

I doubt it. With it being in the promotional material it seems this game will be the one that “focuses” on it. That being one map and then writing it off the list like they did with Kirkwall and the Free Marches. As for the focus of DA4, as I said it seems they are doing far too many nations at once for most of any to be given proper attention.
I wish so too. I can’t think of how DA4 could be made any worse. Well I can, but that kind of stuff is far away.

DA2 was 90 % Kirkwall (boring all the same look).

So all elven mages are shapeshifter, but only the forgotten dragons ruled the skies (majority??). = Only the forgotten ones shapeshift into dragon as mythal does. = Mythal a forgotten one as well. = Mythal is the 8th old god.

This is largely what I expect as well. Minrathous in particular is just too big to do in its entirely, so I expect we'll be able to visit key districts, and hopefully they'll be large enough to get a good feel for them. And I would expect the same with Antiva City. 

The Grand Necropolis is located outside the city, so they may only have to build that. It's almost the size of a city itself though, but built on many, many levels. We'll likely only see a small number of them. 

Will we actually get to see Kal Sharok? Hard to say. As it's been pointed out numerous times, this is quite a lot already...
